Hi all,
I have been offered a full time job in Melbourne as a store manager but was expected to commit to 75hrs / week, 7 days a week from 10am to 9pm daily. The pay is only AU$2.5K / month.
The job scope range from arranging part time resources to man the cashier, making sure goods are ordered and delivered, stacking up the goods, account receivable, etc. If there are no available part time resources to help, Iam told that I will have to do everything from stacking of goods in the store to manning the cashier. Just to add, you are accountable for profit and loss on a weekly basis and hence any extra resources you recruit will eat into the profit and thus you have to manage this well or else is a One Man Operation.
The only thing I see about this is that it is a full time PERM job which means I can go to a bank to get loan. Assuming that I want to loan $AU$400K to buy a new land and house, I am willingly to cough out $80K for down payment (20%) and loan off the rest. Do you think a bank will assess you and loan you with this sort of salary ?
I did not take the job offer but I am wondering if this is pure exploitation of human resource. I never expect this to come from a 1st world country in Australia or am I not being realistic about it.
